Long Day

But better than yesterday- I got out of work aournd 5:15 which is at least slightly better than yesterday. Stomach is also slightly better than yesterday- everything still hurts but at least, knowing anything will hurt, I am back on *some* regular foods.

This is the gorgeous stamp set I was talking about last night. You can find the set HERE. Everything Belinda makes is really delicate and beautiful- and in a style you are NOT going to see in any other stamps.

I can't WAIT to play with the Pierette!

My friend chose to go with CTMH as a new rep- so it's official. This is going to be lots of fun!

Time for bed!

Why "Tilting at Windmills"?

When I started this blog in October 2007, there was a story here about my connection to "Tilting With Windmills". Much of what was in that post no longer applies. Much other of it still does. So, here's the story.

When I was graduating from high school, more than 40 years ago, a group of my friend presented me with a print of Picasso's Don Quixote. They said it reminded me of them.

I get upset when things are wrong, even though getting upset cannot fix them. I dislike people who are cruel or petty or self-serving, and am frustrated that I cannot change them. I fight a daily battle with my health, although I know that every new day is another battle. I have a husband and close friends who support me, even when what I want or believe seems crazy.

So, the comparison with Don Quixote is perhaps an apt one. The story encourages me to take on the battles I see, even the hopeless ones. It reminds me to try to see the best in people. It comforts me that, in the end, even if my actions are futile, they are not meaningless.

I mean to try to continue "to dream the impossible dream".
